OpenOffice 3.4.1 is not an entirely new version of OpenOffice -- Apache describes it as a "maintenance" release that adds support for more languages, solves some problems with the software and is more compatible with Windows 8. This means that double spacing, or adding more space between each line in your document when you apply it to a piece of writing, is the same as in the previous version of the program.

Line Spacing

To change the line spacing to double spacing in the entire document, click "Format," and then select "Paragraph." Click the "Line Spacing" drop-down menu, choose "Double," and then click "OK." To change the spacing on a specific piece of text, highlight the text before adjusting the formatting.
